A Meditation
May 11th, 2006Life is short and death is sure.
The hour of death remains obscure,
A soul you have and only one,
If that be lost all hope is gone.
Waste not your time while time shall last,
for after death ’tis ever past.
The all-seeing God your judge will be,
of heaven or hell your destiny
All earthly things will fleet away,
Eternity shall ever stay.
— from Southern Cross
